Samurai Oni
AKASHI II'S

“Don't you ever mock about Mr Akio!!”

From within her little heart shrieked, as if something dangerous opened and let her roar freely on the spot, the ice that froze her two legs broke and then flames shot out from there. He ran as fast as he could then landed a fierce fiery punch right on the face of the Snow Lady.

In the attack, even the Snow Woman could not dwell. It fell and the whole snowstorm stopped. But the rest of the snow is still piling up.

“I'm supposed to say, "Feel it!", you woman!”

The remains of the fire did not burn his own hands or legs. Although Akashi was unconscious, the fire came from inside his body.

“Mr Akio!”

Turning to his main goal, Akashi quickly entered the residence without the door. More like a big temple than a house, it makes it a little easier for Akashi to find it because Akio is in the middle there.

However, Akashi could not touch him at all. Even if you want, a shock flow will make it stop. This was exactly when he tried to approach the sacred mantra made of paper and writing in the hills of the day.

“Mr Akio won't wake up is it because of a barrier? Ah, if only I knew how to get rid of it.”

Akashi made resigned. How many times has he tried to even throw pebbles, the pebbles actually bounced away. If Akashi forced himself, he would be thrown away.

“Mr Akio, can you hear me? Lord Akio? I know you were breathing. Mister?”

Tan had no response at all from him. Even Akio was not wearing an oni mask either. The absence of the sword, made Akio look very weak in a half-standing position, both his wrists and feet were tied in chains. And so is his neck. All the chains were connected with short wooden sticks, allowing Akio's movement to be limited.

“He was so evil that Mr. Akio became like this. Hm, I'm not gonna let him do it. But, my priority is to save Mr Akio!”

Akashi glanced in all directions in search of Akio's sword. Akashi thinks that maybe his swords are in the same place, which is why he is now trying to find them.

“I don't really remember how the sword looked like. So I take the sword that is here,” Akashi said as he carried the ordinary sword.

“Please stop what you're doing now. Or I will use violence against you.”

Hearing a familiar voice, Akashi was shocked then he looked back and found the figure of the Snow Woman who rose with black hair draped over her face, he said the sentence.

“What? Whatchu mean? Uh, no.” Akashi was confused before, but immediately changed his mind. He shook his head quickly and faced the Snow Woman.

And asked, “What did you do to Mr Akio? Quickly let him go. I feel like he's in pain!”

“Assy? So 'is it?” The Snow Woman raised her face, then smiled widely with both eyes wide open.

“Long,” said.

“I'm not lying! All of that was necessary for his memory to recover. Feeling pain may be true but it is only because the process is too fast.”

“Remember Mr Akio is missing?”

“True. He had already forgotten how he could live now.”

“If it's just a memory thing, why should it suddenly be like this? And why should it be chained like that?” ask her furiously.

“You did it so your food wouldn't run, right?” insinuations.

“True. I wanted to say that, but my business with him has changed. Because I met the woman and then made a deal. About restoring memory or what it is,” he said is still ambiguous.

Akashi, who could not believe his words, pulled the black hair. Affirming, “I don't care about other things. Now, quickly release Mr Akio!”

“No I will do.” He said it as if he had won, but in reality Snow Woman was already seen tidying up due to frontal attack from Akashi.

The fire of the snow weakness, itself seemed to melt. Over time it will evaporate if its power is not immediately restored. But Akashi won't care about any of those things, other than Akio.

“Again, I can't do it without the woman's permission. And I could have killed you if you hadn't taken your hands off my hair.”

“You don't have to talk much. Quickly remove the barrier and free Mr. Akio.”

“I wouldn't if I could. Hey, maybe you'll understand if I say now, you can't kill me because of that woman's request,”.

“Again him? So because of her you purposely did not freeze my whole body!”

“Ya.”

Snow Woman, yokai who controls the snow. Everything that happens in Bama is his work. After being battered by Akashi, he told me everything he had done.

Starting from making Bama the coldest winter. And then freeze the forests, the streets, the houses and the people. Nor is the exception with the river as well as the animals in this place. He did it just to make his cage.

“This is all I did after my resurrection and for the sake of that woman. But, I don't know why he wanted this unknown man. I heard he is a great samurai, his spiritual power is not main.”

Not a word explained who he meant, who the woman was and what the reason was by making Akio in a place like this. Moreover, there is something that disturbs Akashi very much, namely "memory."

“The idea he had in the past was the woman's target. And he says you're part of that past too. That's why she told me not to kill you.”

The Snow Woman's grin grew wider, her eyes opening as if she was staring at the invisible directly. He approached Akashi and made Akashi drop the sword on the floor.

A cold chill ran from all over her body, as soon as she set foot into the building, the wood floor became frozen snow. It looks beautiful but it is also terrible.

If Akashi gets an attack from him once again, Akashi honestly doubts whether he can survive or not.

“But actually I don't want to if you're left alive. A plot creature like you that has human blood. Where were you born?”

The Snow Woman extended both of her hands forward, her strength growing ever more and more and it made Akashi feel uncomfortable.

“I want you dead, Akashi the Red Hand.”

In just a second, when the two faced each other and were only a few inches away, had made Akashi's body freeze. The shell inside is ice and the outer layer attached is very thick snow.

“True, true. You're no longer needed. After hearing it from that woman, you're just a bully. So that's why, please understand a little.”
